What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's app-based redemption model, requiring diners to select a participating restaurant through the EatOut app to claim exclusive deals, has driven demand strong enough that past editions saw participating restaurants sell out their burger stock entirely on the first day, an unusually intense response for a food promotion event

02

The mystery stays covered

Its geographic reach beyond Nairobi into Kericho, Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa gives it a genuinely national footprint rather than confining the deals to the capital alone
